(i hope this gets sticky , because it is a full fast tutorial fixes everything from the stuff needed to start modding to fixing the python not recognized error, if you have this tutorial, you dont need any other tutorial)
This is a tutorial that teaches set up modding , there are two ways you can use.
There are two types to make a mod .
FIRST TYPE (NOT RECOMMENDED): TEXT EDITING : If you want to make a small mod project for yourself such as add new items or troops, you should use text editor, it is very simple and anyone can use it.
Morgh's Warband/WFaS Editor : http://mountandblade.micron.de/wrapper/edit_download.htm
TweakMB : http://www.mbrepository.com/file.php?id=1751
After you download it, open the editor and insert your mod's file in the editor and then you can edit what you want, it is very simple and nice.
2 SECOND TYPE (RECOMMENDED): If you want to make a big mod, change features, add scripts and codes and triggers, then you should use module system.
to use module system you need :
Python : http://www.python.org/ftp/python2.7.3/python-2.7.3.msi
Notepad++: http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepadplus/6.1.5/npp.6.1.5.Installer.exe
and you need to download the module system itself.

After you download and install the two on top and download the module system, you are almost done.
Now open the folder where you installed Mount&Blade or Mount&Blade : Warband or Mount&Blade : With Fire and Sword.
for most people this is the path ( you should check for your path, its probably a bit different )
C:/Program Files/Mount&Blade Warband
OR
C:/Program Files (x86)/Mount&Blade Warband
OR
C:/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/mountblade warband
OR
C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/mountblade warband
OK, Now open the Modules file inside the folder where you installed Warband, and you will find "Native" which is the default mod for the game, copy it and paste it in the same place, you will find a file called "Native - Copy" or "Native(1)", change it for example to : new mod.
Now go back to the file of the Module System, that you downloaded before, unzip it using winrar or some program and then open it,MAKE SURE YOU OPEN MODULE SYSTEM FILE, NOT MODULE DATA, you will find a big bunch of files ! NEVER TOUCH ANY OF THEM!
now you see the files :
some are header_something :- dont mess with them
some are ID_something :- dont play with them
some are process_something :- dont mess with them
some are module_something :- those are what you will be editing while modding
!DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON ANY FILES!
now RIGHT CLICK on a file called "module_info" and click "Edit with Notepad++"
you will find like this :
now erase EVERYTHING BETWEEN THE " and the " in ALL THE EXPORT_DIR LINES!
after you erase everything, you should write your path of the COPY OF THE NATIVE THAT YOU MADE BEFORE IN THIS TUTORIAL, in our case, this is the path : ( ON YOUR COMPUTER IT MIGHT BE DIFFERENT THOUGH )
make sure you put / after your mod file name!
OK now 1 step left, you are almost done!
FIND A FILE CALLED : build_module IN THE MODULE SYSTEM!
right click on it and click edit !
you will find like this :
ERASE THIS CODE COMPLETELY AND REPLACE IT WITH THIS :
NOW CLOSE AND SAVE (THIS STEP WAS TO FIX PYTHON NOT RECOGNIZED ERROR IN A SIMPLE WAY)
NOW YOU FINISHED! YOU HAVE EVERYTHING SET UP TO START MAKING YOUR OWN MOD!
Now , you can see tutorials of what you can do to add new items/ add factions/add features and OSPs/change many aspects of the game! AND DONT FORGET,DONT DOUBLE CLICK PYTHON FILES!RIGHT CLICK THEM AND CLICK "Edit with Notepad++"AND after editing the module system to add new items /factions/features etc. you should double click the file "build_module" to make your changes saved!
